The Brooklyn Bridge is a the biggest and oldest suspension bridge in New York City and it connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River. The bridge was initially designed by German immigrant John Augustus Roebling in 1869; while conducting surveys for the bridge project, Roebling sustained a crush injury to his foot when a ferry pinned it against a piling. After amputation of his crushed toes he developed a tetanus infection which left him incapacitated and soon resulted in his death, not long after he had placed his 32-year-old son Washington Roebling in charge of the project. However Washington Roebling also suffered a paralyzing injury as a result of decompression sickness shortly after the beginning of construction and his debilitating condition left him unable to physically supervise the construction firsthand. Roebling conducted the entire construction from his apartment with a view of the work, designing and redesigning caissons and other equipment. He was aided by his wife Emily Warren Roebling who provided the critical written link between her husband and the engineers on site.[ Under her husband's guidance, Emily studied higher mathematics, the calculations of catenary curves, the strengths of materials, bridge specifications, and the intricacies of cable construction. She spent 11 years assisting her husband to communicate with the engineers and to keep the project going. On 24th May 1883, Brooklyn Bridge was completed and opened for 150, 000 people crossing over. Yesterday, after seen it in many movies and in many books, I finally cross the bridge from from Manhattan to Brooklin. It was very exciting for me, and the view of the Manhattan skyline behind me with all the landmarks was breathtaking. After taking thousand of picture and stopped every five minutes to admire the view I arrived in Brooklyin. I walked around the trendy area of Dumbo and then in the tree-lined streets of Park Slope between the old Victorian houses, pushing me to the prom. I also stopped at Grimaldi’s to take a slice of pizza that was really good. It was really a great day.
